If i were to make a temple for Nut it would be made out of the strongest material they could make back then because i would want hers to last for a long time. I would want hers to last for a long time because i think she is a very important goddess, without her they would not have night time. They would not have stars either. All of her belongings would be placed with her. I would have the temple painted blue with stars to resemble Nut. The statues that i would place in her temple would be all of her children. Also her husband/ brother and any other siblings. I would have statues of her parents or anyone that worked with her in her job. I would make her temple very tradition according to her background.
